Well I’m finally getting around to posting some photos of the wedding shower for the newest gal in the Dice clan. Katie is going to marry Paul this June. I’m so happy to see Paul happy. He’s not a little cousin anymore, he’s all grown up. Heck, we’re all grown up and we seem to be having babies left and right. What a lovely bunch of ladies to spend the morning with.

Here’s Lana with Bea and Brianne with Drew – they were doing the sooth-the-baby dance.

Here’s Katie with her new sisters.

Here’s Bea meeting her Aunt Garlene. Notice her nice bald spot – it’s very similar to Grandpa J’s bald spot.

Kelly and Meghan.. and two more babies in the oven.

Layk and Jenna

Jenna hung out with Grandma Dice and then had a cupcake.

Here’s the strawberry bread recipe that I had a couple requests for. I think it came from the Everyday Food magazine.

Strawberry Bread

5 T. Unsalted butter at room temperature
1 pint Strawberries – mashed
1 3/4 c. Flour
1 t. Baking Soda
1/2 t. Cinnamon
1/4 t. Baking Powder
1/2 t. Salt
1 c. Sugar
2 Eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a loaf pan. In a small saucepan boil strawberries for 1 minute. In a medium bowl, mix flower, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Set aside. With electric mixer cream butter, sugar and eggs until fluffy. Add flower mixture alternating with 1/3 cup water (start and end with flour). Fold in strawberries.

Pour into pan and bake about an hour. If to gets too brown put a tent of foil over it. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Yummy.
